Don’t bite off more than you can chew. </p> </div> ---  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>Why Most People Fail</h2> <p> They try to rebuild their entire life in 30 days: new gym habit, new diet, new routine, new identity—no plan. January gets loud; February gets quiet. </p> <ul class="ijgl-bullets"> <li><strong>Gym trap:</strong> drive time, crowds, waits, life stress—then expect peak training.</li> <li><strong>No plan:</strong> show up and “wing it.”</li> <li><strong>Chef cosplay:</strong> meal prep misery and macro cult dogma.</li> <li><strong>Blind spots:</strong> relationships, influences, job stress, sleep… never addressed.</li> </ul> <blockquote class="ijgl-quote"> <strong>Strategy beats motivation.</strong> New Year’s Day is not a plan. </blockquote> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>The IJGL Approach</h2> <ul class="ijgl-bullets"> <li><strong>Baby steps, big outcomes:</strong> build a single habit until it sticks.</li> <li><strong>Environment over willpower:</strong> remove choices, lower friction.</li> <li><strong>Consistency over hype:</strong> quiet reps > loud intentions.</li> <li><strong>Train alone, think clearly:</strong> music, rhythm, you.</li> </ul> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>Start Here (No Gym Required)</h2> <ul class="ijgl-list"> <li><strong>Buy once:</strong> heavy kettlebell + weighted vest. Tools you’ll use forever.</li> <li><strong>Prove consistency at home:</strong> bodyweight days + skill days + flow days.</li> <li><strong>Fasting over meal prep:</strong> fewer decisions, more control.</li> <li><strong>Eat simple:</strong> yogurt + granola (late lunch). Bacon + eggs (dinner). Repeat.</li> <li><strong>Remove choices:</strong> spam the same foods until you drop a few lbs.</li> <li><strong>Track reality:</strong> log calories; run a true deficit if the goal is to get lean.</li> </ul> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>Food Without Misery</h2> <p> No prison trays. No three-day-old tilapia religion. Eat like a human: real food, real hunger, real satisfaction. Use fasting as a tool, not punishment. Manipulate glycogen when needed, but keep your sanity. </p> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>Micro-Protocols (Pick One, Nail It)</h2> <ul class="ijgl-bullets"> <li><strong>Daily movement floor:</strong> 20–30 min session, non-negotiable.</li> <li><strong>Protein anchor:</strong> 25–40g protein in your first real meal.</li> <li><strong>Sleep guardrails:</strong> screens down 60m before bed, room cool/dark.</li> <li><strong>Temptation tax:</strong> remove one trigger food from the house for 30 days.</li> </ul> <p class="ijgl-mini">Master one. Then layer the next.</p> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section ijgl-mid-cta"> <h2>Want the full framework?</h2> <p>Deep dive the sequence, the mindset, and the habits that actually stick.</p> <div class="ijgl-cta"> <a class="btn btn-ghost" href="https://davidsbrainapk.com/sites/itsjustgoodlighting/The+Order+of+Things">Read: The Order of Things</a> </div> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <h2>Quick FAQ</h2> <ul class="ijgl-bullets"> <li><strong>Do I ever need a gym?</strong> Maybe. Prove consistency first; decide later.</li> <li><strong>What about supplements?</strong> Optional. Consistency beats capsules.</li> <li><strong>Do I have to fast?</strong> No. It’s a tool to reduce decisions and tighten intake.</li> <li><strong>How fast will I see results?</strong> Fast enough to stay motivated if you keep it simple.</li> </ul> </section>  <section class="ijgl-section"> <blockquote class="ijgl-quote"> <strong>Strong enough to fight.</strong><br> <strong>Lean enough to fuck.</strong><br> <strong>Calm enough to sleep.</strong> </blockquote> <p class="ijgl-mini">That’s the standard.</p> </section>  ## Choose Your Path [[help yourself|Help Yourself]] Free resources, notes, vault downloads, and guides. or [[ijgl/apply|Lemme Help You]] Coaching, accountability, and a custom setup for your life.
